On a bookstore - Nir Hasson and DPA in Haaretz:

‘Israel Police raided two iconic bookstores in East Jerusalem on Sunday, alleging that the books sold there were inciteful, but then arrested the owners on suspicion of disturbing the peace.
After seizing the books and arresting the store owners, the police decided to change the charge from incitement to suspicion of disturbing public order, leaving the owners in custody until the morning. They will be brought to court on Monday morning for a hearing as the police request an eight-day extension of their detention.’

‘The Educational Bookshop chain is the most well-known bookstore chain in East Jerusalem, with three locations on Salah al-Din Street and in the American Colony Hotel complex. The stores specialize in Arabic and English books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the history of Jerusalem, and they are well-known to researchers, diplomats, journalists and tourists.’

‘"They used Google Translate on the books, and anything they didn't like, they took," said Mourad Muna, Mahmoud's brother. "They even found a Haaretz newspaper with a picture of the hostages and asked what it was, saying it was incitement. They took every book with a Palestinian flag on it."’

(…)

‘Most of the books – except around 10 titles – have been returned by the police.’

(…)

‘Diplomatic representatives from the Netherlands, the U.K., Belgium, Brazil, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden and the EU all visited the courthouse in Jerusalem where the hearing is due to take place, to show support for the bookshop owners.
Steffen Seibert, German Ambassador to Israel, wrote on social media that he is "concerned to hear of the raid and detention [of the owners] in prison."
"I, like many diplomats, enjoy browsing for books at Educational Bookshop. I know its owners, the Muna family, to be peace-loving proud Palestinian Jerusalemites, open for discussion and intellectual exchange," he said.’

This is just a bit more than the beginning of totalitarianism.

And after 10/7/23 too mani Israelis believe that everything is allowed to survive and overcome their own insecurity. And yes, that insecurity is more than just imagination.

But nevertheless.

The question is, is Judaism going to survive Zionism?

Most probably yes, but maybe we will have more than one Judaism.

A new schism is in the make.
